Also try putting the Router up higher that sometimes helps. I have used Devolo (which I borrowed from a friend) with Linux and had no issues. AS your wife has a Laptop you might want to consider getting the Dual Connection Plug - This is a little bit more expensive (IIRC about £85.00) but one plug has a Wireless Transmitter (as well as an Ethernet Connection). Plug the Wired Connector into a socket near the Router and Connect an Ethernet Cable, plug the other one in downstairs and it instantly extends your wireless Network.

She moans a lot about losing the signal or it being too weak. Is this immediately downstairs or through various walls. Have you tried moving the angle of the arial or moving the computer about to see how the signal strength varies? We can use laptops underneath the room where the wireless relay is and even outside the house.
